> Text expansion: espanso

Have always loved that text shortcuts work across iOs and MacOs (yay, for integrated walled gardens).

Wanted the same thing for Linux and it seems like espanso + rsync(or git) for syncing the shortcuts across devices is the way to go.

I like the idea, but for 'normal' users - oh, yaml.

I see there's third party GUI tools but that adds more hassle for the non-technical.

Would be great if there was an inbuilt interface in espanso.

Settings > Keyboard > Text Replacements. Go nuts. All of these sync over iCloud to {i,mac,watch}OS
